Conference expansion, integration, etc. Bear Bryant in all his years had two undefeated seasons


Three undefeated seasons. He went 11-0 at Alabama in 1966.

And some of those schedules weren't easy. Yeah...the '79 schedule was a cupcake, but in the 70s Alabama generally scheduled regular season match-ups against the likes of Notre Dame, Nebraska, and Southern California.

Just take a look at the first five games Alabama played in 1978:

vs. #10 Nebraska
@ #11 Missouri
vs. #7 Southern California
vs. Vanderbilt
@ Washington
